Abstract

Human resource management is vital to a company’s overall success. Many companies overlook the importance and benefits human resources provide, even though it is a crucial element to a company’s prosperity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the best practices of human resource management at Opolo Vineyards. The researcher examined the organization based on an instrument constructed to assess the best practices of human resources. The study found Opolo Vineyards does not effectively utilize their human resource department. Opolo Vineyards needs to focus on implementing a stronger human resource department that provides employees with the necessary fundamentals to be successful.
